A Long Holey Journey (Session 11)

Our heroes set sail from Safehaven and travel towards the plane of Celestia, the home of the human gods, which they believe holds the body of the Raven Queen.

As our heroes prepare to set off a few preparations are in order. Nirx and Gael stop by to speak with Tyrion, the draconic owner of the Hammer and Dragon to upgrade the SS Glimmervale. Repairing various pieces of damage to their ship the party gets the wood replaced with refurbished wood,, purchase a ballon to allow for slow and limited flight, two harpoon guns with 10 harpoons. With a bit of haggling and a day passing on Safehaven the party sets off sailing towards the plane of Celestia. The start of their 120 day journey lead to much conversation and Wizards Lizards prepartion for teaching Jacob to read so he may one day be a wizard himself.   Over the course of their long journey our heroes began to learn much more of one another: Conversation topic: A time you got away with something.   Wizard Lizard: Got away with disobeying an order while in the Coalierian military.   Nirx: Once tricked people into giving him money and usually got away with it “until he didn’t”.   Gael: People in his hometown “were not fans” of his family. Solarian government put a hit on him trying to hunt him down, up until the destruction of his people.   Scar: Haven’t done anything that requires “getting away with”.   Constance: Ran away from her home, doesn’t remember the specific location, but was not comfortable saying why.   While sailing the our heroes were attacked by a small group of pirates as a cannon ball sailed through the wall of the SS Glimmervale. Using their harpoons they attached to the pirate ship. Boarding the pirate ship our heroes killed 4 pirates and captured 1 alive. Our heroes looted some food, water, and money from the pirates leaving some food for one of the pirates allowing him to leave with his life.   On a day close to the end of our heroes journey Wizard Lizard is experimenting on the engine of their ship when he feels the tempature rising and the sound something knocking on the underside of the ship. Looking to investiage the smell of burning begins as our heroes face off against three fiery bat monstrosities burning a holes through the hull trying to reach the engine of the ship. Though quick action our heroes stop their attack but not without heavily damaging thier ship requring them to deconstruct several empty crates and barreles to repair the ship.   With Celestia on the horizon the heroes talk of another moment from their past: Conversation Topic: Something you’re ashamed of   Constance: Ashamed of not listening to her parents   Nirx: His whole past   Gael: Part of a sailing crew. Wishes he spent more time with his father   Wizard LIzard: Ashamed of selling Deji and JJ into slavery   Scar: Ashamed of being unable to protect his creator   As the day comes to a close our heroes finally reach Celestia. Arriving close to a river our hereos spend the next six days floating slowly toward the massive Mount Celestia with the city of Arcadia as their first target. Knowing it to be the only entrance into the city of Orinos.
